Have you ever wondered how fires get started in a clothes dryer????

This story was just recently passed on to me.  I immediately checked my lint screen.  The water flowed through the mesh easily.  I am so grateful to know the products I am using are not causing this danger.  I included information on them on my blog, www.nosickvisits.com

To Your Health,

Have you ever wondered how fires get started in a clothes dryer????

Read this story:

“The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something. He went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load of clothes). He took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh materials. Well, the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn’t go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh. That’s what burns out the heating unit. You can’t SEE the film, but it’s there. This ‘film’ in the dryer sheets makes your clothes soft and static free – and gives them that nice fragrance too. You know how dryer sheets can feel waxy when you take them out of the box? Well that waxy stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This substance cuts down on the efficiency of your dryer and is also what causes dryer units to catch fire! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every month. Doing this will double the life of your dryer!” B. Hanson, Denver, CO
